Powerhouse upgrade or not?

[Richard Waddicor]

This is not a powerhouse  "how to / syntax" query but more about question 
about what runs with what  ...

Any feedback about sites that have moved through similar scenarios would be 
greatly appreciated.

My aim is to minimise any upgrades given that the system is very stable but 
will be replaced in the not too distant future.

Thanks in advance

--------------------

We have a client who currently works on the following environment …

Tru64 Unix 4.0.d, Oracle 7.3.4 and Powerhouse  7.33.d3

They have a test Alpha and a production Alpha and I also have a small 
development server here running the above configuration

They are purchasing a replacement box for the production system and that 
will be supplied with Tru64 Unix 5.0. The testing box will stay on Tru64 
Unix 4.0d.

What is the best short term strategy ?

I understand that 7.33d is no longer supported .

I understand Oracle 7.3.4 will run ( but is no longer supported ) under 
both Tru64 Unix 4 and 5.

Easiest short term option  - are there any sites out there running 7.33.d3 
and Tru64 5.0  - should it run ( non supported )?

Next option  will powerhouse 813 run under Tru64 4.0.d and 5.0?
   If so what are the upgrade gotchas   previous Powerhouse upgrades have 
been pleasingly painless.
